CONDITIONS FOR PRISONER EXCHANGE. Folio (12 inches). 22 George III, Chapter 10. General title leaf + pages 327-328. Royal coat of arms, headpiece ornament, and factotum initial. Text in Black Letter.

By the summer of 1782, British officials acknowledged that American independence should be recognized, and in November the two sides agreed to preliminary articles of peace that formally recognized an independent United States of America and called for the freeing of all prisoners from both sides.…
